I guess I missed how anybody being "forced" to do anything.

Their employees are still free to buy all the meat they want.



Is this the same conversation we're going to have when the company says no IUD costs can come from your health insurance plan?


They're forced for example in the context of a business trip.


No they're not.

Every company has limitations and provisions on what they'll expense on business trips, and I don't see how this is any different.


Because they are saying you have to travel for work and you cannot eat anything we do not approve. How hard is it to understand that? I travel all the time for work. I cannot eat Gluten (medical reason), when I am in Japan what do you suggest I eat? There are many options that are safe for me to eat and they are all meat based. It is fine they choose not to server meat as part of what the company does as an in house offering but it is not okay for them to tell me what I can it when I am traveling on business. I do not require a drink with dinner. That’s fine, but I do require food I can digest without getting sick. This is pure bullshit over reach. The best part is everyone will just ignore it as no one turns in itemized reports on what they ordered just the CC slip. It is pure BS.


Companies used to have one hotel room per trip limitations, too, and if the woman didn't want to stay with a man she could always pay for her own room.


That's a really great example.

I don't understand how people cannot see the implicitly force used here. In fact, its a large part of why WeWork is doing this.


And they also used to let everybody smoke cigarettes inside at their desks. Times change.


and you are free to buy your own health insurance!
